Quick start from GraphEdit or GraphStudio

  • run GraphEdit → Graph → Insert Filters → DirectShow Filters,
  • locate the "Datastead RTSP/RTMP DirectShow Source" filter, double-click on it to insert it,
  • when the popup dialog appears to select a file, press the "Esc" key, or click "Cancel",
  • right-click on the filter → Properties → the dialog appears,
  • enter the RTSP URL (followed by the optional extra parameters, if any, see Configuration through URL parameters), e.g. to specify a buffer of 500 ms and record a .MP4 clip with an Axis camera:
rtsp://root:pass@192.168.1.32/axis-media/media.amp?videocodec=h264&audio=1>buffer=500>recordingfilename=c:\test.mp4
  • click "OK",
  • wait a few seconds for the filter to connect, then render the desired pin(s) and run the graph.
